In Leah’s words

Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.

“It's an interactive meal and maybe retrospectively interactive is problematic.”
Ep 629▶ 3:06
“They say when there's a gold rush, invest in shovels. So when there's a panic, invest in toilets.”

Leah’s advice on the show

What should you keep in mind when invited on someone else's podcast or show as a guest?

Think about what you can actively contribute to the format, not just show up and answer questions, borrowing the mindset Leah attributes to Andy Lee.

Stories Leah told

Leah's supermarket toilet paper panic

Ep 629▶ 6:02

Leah describes going to Coles for toilet paper during the early COVID-19 panic buying and finding empty shelves, overhearing a frustrated Coles worker, and ultimately having her husband buy an oversized industrial toilet roll from Bunnings that didn't fit the household toilet-roll holder.

The stolen Jenga question blocks

Ep 629▶ 14:05

Leah prepared a Jenga-tower question game for the show but her kids secretly took the blocks from her handbag the night before while she had her sister over, forcing her to bring a bag of loose blocks to shake and pull from instead of a full tower.

Questions these interviews answer

Drawn from the episode transcripts.

Why was there a toilet paper shortage in Australian supermarkets around March 2020?

Guest Leah McClelland describes panic buying at Coles with no toilet paper left, people filling trolleys with paper towels and tissues as substitutes, and friends resorting to buying industrial Bunnings toilet rolls, all discussed in the context of early COVID-19 'doomsday' prepping behaviour.
